Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 167: The Cold and Noble Prince (21)
Ji Huaian stared straight at the closed door not far away. He had never looked for Jiang Rou in the past few days. He wanted to ask who that man was and how they knew each other.
But as he thought about it, he laughed at himself. With what identity and what position did he have to ask? And what would happen after he asked? Knowing all the truth would only make him more miserable.
The resentment in Ji Huaian's eyes was about to overflow, he had been emotionally indifferent since childhood, and this was the first time he was so worried about a woman.
But if he was asked to let go, how could he be willing? Ask yourself, how many people in this world can let go of the one they love? But if he forced Jiang Rou to stay by his side, Jiang Rou's face would always be filled with sadness, which would be more painful than letting her leave him.
As soon as Fu Yun came in, he saw his own young master being so silent. He was naturally present when Jiang Rou said those words. Seeing Ji Huaian like this, Fu Yun shook his head.
He knocked lightly on the door and called out in a solemn voice, "Prince, it's getting late." Ji Huaian retracted his gaze, turned his head with no expression on his face, and no emotion in his eyes. He nodded slowly towards Fuyun and said in a calm voice, "Let's do it."
As early as when Fuyun and Qingfan came back, Ji Huaian had already reported all what he had found out to the emperor. The emperor was furious, but thinking of what Ji Huaian said in the letter, he kept silent.
It was not until recently that Ji Huaian got to the bottom of the matter that Emperor Cheng'an took action. He was furious at the court meeting, and the reason was that Fang Xuchuan had extorted money from the people, increased taxes, and withheld relief grain from the people.
The evidence of Fang Xu's crimes made none of the officials dare to breathe. The emperor had always been gentle, and it was rare for him to be so furious, which showed that he was really angry.
Everyone below was respectful on the surface, but their thoughts were already turning around in their hearts. They all thought of the incident many years ago when a young boy married a girl from the Cui family.
When everyone thought of this, they turned their eyes to the prince. The prince, who was being watched from all directions, frowned tightly. No matter how stupid he was, he realized that this matter was directed at him.
The King of Qi, who was beside the Crown Prince, was not panicked at all at this time. He had known about this matter a few days ago, although he was very angry that he had not successfully eliminated Ji Huaian.
But it is also a good thing to be able to put the blame on the prince. After all, no one knows the relationship between him and Fang Xuchuan. I think Fang Xuchuan should also know his methods.
Thinking of this, King Qi had a faint smile on his face. The prince caught a glimpse of the reaction on his face and realized that this matter was related to his smiling tiger brother.
Seeing the Crown Prince's helpless and furious look, the corners of King Qi's mouth raised even more, and he even spoke silently to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince, who understood his lip language, could not stop the anger in his eyes.
Just when they were at loggerheads, something suddenly flew out from above and hit them both on the head.
Immediately followed was the angry roar of Emperor Cheng'an, "You bastard, you have learned everything the Grand Tutor taught you, you haven't learned anything about brotherly love and respect, but you are an expert at killing each other."
The foreheads of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi were bleeding, which showed how angry the Emperor was. Although their heads were covered in blood, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi knelt on the ground and begged the Emperor, "Father, please calm down."
All the court officials knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down." Emperor Cheng'an's body was already under stress, and now he was so angry that he couldn't even catch his breath. Blood spurted out and he fainted on the spot.
He was in a coma for two days and two nights before waking up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to confine the crown prince and the seven princes to their houses, and Wu Zhao was not allowed to leave the house. Although his son wanted to kill him, Emperor Cheng'an, who was about to die, chose to forgive them.
The second thing was to issue an imperial decree to arrest Fang Xuchuan and bring him to justice. The imperial decree was sent to Lin'an Prefecture at full speed.
The time for Madam Fang's coffin has come, and today is the day she will be buried. The courtyard is full of guests. Fang Yuan fainted that day due to being unable to accept the situation, and became crazy and stupid after waking up. Fang Xu ordered someone to lock him up in the room.
At this time, Fang Xuchuan was the only one in charge of the situation in front of the coffin. When the servants asked him to help bury the body, Fang Xuchuan threw himself on the coffin and no matter how hard the servants tried to pull him down, he couldn't.
Just at this moment, Ji Huaian walked in, and seeing his behavior, he said sarcastically, "Lord Fang is really affectionate. He can cry so sincerely over a few pieces of clothes."
His words caused an uproar. After all, everyone knew that Mrs. Fang Fang died in a fire, but the body had been dug out, so how could there be only a few pieces of clothing in the coffin?
Several people who were on good terms with Fang Xuchuan thought that Ji Huaian was here to cause trouble, so they criticized him, "Sir, you'd better be careful with your words and actions. After all, the dead are the most important. Don't disturb the peace of the host's family at this important moment."
Seeing him say this, Ji Huaian had no intention of engaging in a verbal battle with them, so he took the imperial edict handed over by Fuyun, unfolded it and began to read, "The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, Fang Xu, has increased taxes, extorted the people's wealth, and seized the people's fertile land. From today on, all his official positions will be dismissed, demoted to a commoner, and his descendants will not be allowed to serve as officials in the court. He will be arrested and brought to the capital today."
When the imperial edict came out, everyone was in an uproar. Several people who were close to Fang Xuchuan knew some inside information. After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, they wanted to sneak out, but they found that the door was already heavily guarded.
There were also some people who were unaware of the truth and were deceived by Fang Xuchuan's superficial words. They were so shocked that they were speechless after hearing what he said. They couldn't imagine that the kind-hearted Lord Fang would do so many unscrupulous things in private.
In an instant, the scene fell into silence. Fang Xuchuan, who was being held down by Qingfan and Fuyun, looked dejected and pale, and fell to the ground dejectedly.
Ji Huaian asked his men to take him down. Fang Xuchuan struggled hard, but to no avail. Veins bulged on his forehead, and he simply gave up and cursed at Ji Huaian.
Hearing his foul language, Qingfan directly dislocated his jaw. Fang Xuchuan was speechless and was forced to walk out.
In a short while, the huge Fang Mansion was under control, and Fang Xuchuan was temporarily detained in prison. After understanding the situation here, you followed the group back to the capital.
Jiang Rou didn't hear anything about what happened in the Fang Mansion. After lying in the room for a few days, when she felt that her body had almost recovered, she got out of bed and took Yingtao out for a walk.
The sky outside was still gloomy. Jiang Rou stood in the yard for a while and then felt a strong wind. Looking at the horizon, it seemed that a storm was about to come.
He wanted to take Cherry back with him, but suddenly a white light appeared in the sky and thunder rang in Jiang Rou's ears. Cherry was frightened and turned pale, shivering in Jiang Rou's arms.
Jiang Rou comforted her softly and was thinking about going back to the room. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a few figures coming in from the door. They slowed down their pace and seemed to be floating in the wind.
As soon as Ji Huaian entered the yard, he saw Jiang Rou, who was in white clothes and couldn't stand because of the strong wind. This was the first time he saw her in many days. Ji Huaian looked at her restrainedly and thought in his heart that she had lost weight.
